With this new recording,
Yuja Wang continues to
climb the heights of the
classical world. These
performances again show
what a wonderful pianist
she is developing into – and Rachmaninov,
for any pianist, is always a great test of their
musical abilities. Wang and Abbado move
gracefully through each movement of the
Rhapsody *and the pleasure she derives from
performing this work is at once recognisable
to the listener. One never gets tired of
hearing the Second Piano Concerto* and
Wang’s charismatic performance, combined
with beautiful support from Abbado and
the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, will surely
delight.
